UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones apparently is warming up to the idea of a fight with Chael Sonnen.

Even if the brash middleweight doesn’t deserve it, the champ said.

While he ultimately believes a fight with Sonnen would “delegitimize” his title, he’s apparently willing to give the fans what they want.

“The more I realize how bad the fans want to see me fight Sonnen the more I am beginning to disregard whether he deserves it or not,” Jones recently tweeted. “A part of me wants to do it for the fans. The other part of me feels as if it delegitimizes the importance of (the) championship.”

Sonnen (28-12-1 MMA, 6-5 UFC), who suffered a second loss to middleweight champion Anderson Silva in his most recent bout, was targeted for a late-notice light-heavyweight fight with Jones (16-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) at UFC 151. However, when Jones declined to take the fight on eight days’ notice following an injury to original opponent Dan Henderson, UFC officials ultimately canceled the Sept. 1 show outright.

Although Jones said he offered to fight Sonnen a few weeks later at UFC 152, officials instead paired him up with Lyoto Machida and then ultimately Vitor Belfort, whom he submitted in the fourth round.

But since the UFC 151 cancellation, Sonnen hasn’t missed an opportunity to call out Jones, even though he’s currently booked to fight light heavyweight Forrest Griffin at UFC 155 in December.

Still, Sonnen didn’t waste an opportunity to weigh in on Jones’ tweets.

And UFC President Dana White himself recently mentioned the possibility of the fight, as MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) recently reported. Even if it doesn’t make sense in the pecking order of the division, he knows it’s a fight he can sell.

“I can tell you right now, I think they both want that fight,” White said. “I think there are other fights that make more sense. (But) people do want to see it. If enough people want to see it, I guess I’d have to make it.”

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
